We are one of the leading markets for sunglasses. We buy more of them, on a per capita basis, than most cities in the United States. Why would that be? Usually works like this; when the sun comes out we yell "oh no, my eyes! my eyes! I can't stand the bright light!" and we rush out and buy a pair of sunglasses. When the sun comes out again, we have forgotten where we put the pair we bought on the last sunny day, 7 or 8 months ago. What we don't buy in big numbers? Umbrellas. I have 4 pairs of sunglasses and wear them often. I think our NW eyes have adjusted to the low light environment, so when the sun comes out or even when it's bright, it's a bit too much excitement for the eyes. Another thing..except for midsummer, it seems that the sun, when it is out, is always in your eyes. I always wear a cap/hat with a bill for relief from this situation. Oh you fashionista, you. |
